It's been a coupla years, but there's a wiki page devoted to this
(naming your project, structuring it, using install.rb/setup.rb, etc.):
http://rubygarden.org/ruby?QuickGuideToPackaging
I'll also be covering this in chapter 8 of the (Poignant) Guide. I
won't be releasing that chapter until next spring, so if you have input,
I'd slurp it up.
